Only Lovers Left Alive – Review and track listing
Being a fan of Jim Jarmusch's previous films, I knew what to expect with his easy going, uncomplicated, predictable, shooting style. It's most welcome (he's doing his thing, but with Vampires and more layers than 'Broken Flowers')! He's a film maker with an intimate, minimalist and considered approach that isn't exposition heavy. I believe he's letting audiences sit back and giving them time to think, while watching his movies. The characters and scenes will speak for themselves on that subjective interpretation. Jarmusch, shows rather than tells and I always find myself talking about his characters after watching his movies. That's his take and his brand I enjoy.*
Jarmusch creates two rich and very fleshed (pun unintended) out vampire characters that are ironically very human, the focus isn't on their supernatural powers, It's a given that they have them since they are vampires and the genre is well explored by film makers over the years. It's safe to assume they do have them, they just aren't worth focusing on, and they aren't necessary for 99% of the movie. The focus is on their individual natures, personalities and the lives they live, Adam and Eve seem like a couple who need their time together as much as their time apart.
What makes them interesting is what they have given and taken in their long relationship with human beings. Adam is the music obsessive and recluse, secretly passing on his works through others over the ages, thereby (maybe without realising) providing entertainment for those he hates. Eve, the nature lover and one interested in 'feeling' history, actually somebody who is very human and caring of others, oddly, somebody without a heartbeat seems to have a big heart. Without realising, they have become the things they eat.
Those insensitive to subtly in their movies will say in conversation that "nothing really happens" in 'Only Lovers Left Behind', think how "nothing happens" in 'Lost in Translation' or 'Broken Flowers', except here, even though we are just watching a few people living and interacting without some great great drama or hero's climax, there is something for us to digest and be entertained with. If you can accept that, the themes and the mirrors that Jarmusch sets up, soon bleed out (pun intended). If not, you'll think it sucks and leave halfway through, as many people did at my screening.
*I'm tired of movies that try to explain everything with too much exposition or have a pace which is constantly directing your attention. Though don't go too far in the opposite direction either, like with Jonathan Glazer's 'Under the Skin', with its hugely ambiguous narrative, I can't survive cinema if all films were like that.
The music in OLLA is very special, special to me in that it's all new and refreshing to me and I want to hear more of it. So that's what I did and googled for all the tracks. If you want to find the music, here is the song list (copied from the indiewire blog [but they don't provide links like to the songs like I do]):
All the Songs In "Only Lovers Left Alive", are mostly iTunes links. The individual songs below either don't exist on the official album or are not in their original form.
"Funnel Of Love" – Wanda Jackson
"Harissa" – Kasbah Rockers
"Caprice No. 5 in A Minor" – Charles Yang (itunes doesn't have Charles Yang as the composer for the purists out there).
"Gamil" – Y.A.S.

Review ~ Retina MacBook Pro
I gave myself something less to think about this week.* I purchased the current top of the line Retina MacBook Pro with all the trimmings, 16GB of RAM, 2.7Ghz Quad Core processor and a 750GB SSD. In addition I consider myself lucky to be living in Hong Kong at the moment as this wonderful machine has cost me almost £800 less than it would if I walked into an Apple Store in the UK and handed over my debit card. There is another story behind purchasing this laptop, but I'm saving that for the next episode of JPG podcast.**
I've bought a complete machine, the first time in which I have done so and I don't have to think about upgrading it later, this is it until it dies. I've already joked to friends that this is the last Apple Mac I will ever buy. This is where buying the top of the line is refreshing for me; I don't have to think about any upgrades and the reason why I have given myself less to think about.
I have always bought a laptop with the view to upgrade the battery, memory and the hard disk later on, right at the point when the machine was starting to lag behind my expectations. I always bought the low end model with the capable processor. Purchasing this new computer I can't upgrade has caused me to think about my previous computing experiences; this laptop is different to everything before it and I'm in a different space mentally.
On reflection I found owning those previous laptops bothered me; making an anxious because the constant quest to find upgrades later took up a large portion of my time. Memory was the easiest kind of. I would buy as much as the laptop could handle by going to crucial.com even though the website isn't straightforward, but as a geek I put up with the site in order to get the benefits of more RAM. When it came to the hard disk, I think I went to all the websites that sold them; measuring attributes and prices against one another and then finally settling on one model before a newer one came out and then later buying that one as well. I was also always taking a peek in the SSD section of these websites to see if theprices were worth their asking prices yet.
I remember owning a plastic MacBook a few years back. I upgraded the hard drive three times, going from the stock 80GB drive to a 200GB, a 320GB version and then settled on a 500GB model (all 7200rpm models); more instances than when I owned an actual desktop computer (remember those?). It didn't stop there, I even removed the optical drive and put in another 500GB drive after that! Even further down memory lane, I even went to the effort once of opening up a G3 iBook in order to upgrade the hard disk. For anyone who doesn't know, there were forty screws of different sizes between you and achieving upgrade nirvana with those laptops. Hence the praise Apple received when they made upgrading the MacBook lines easier when they were first announced. Though I think it was to help them more than it was to help us.
Apple have always being difficult in the initial purchasing process; they were always stingy with their laptop configurations. Apple never included enough RAM or the specs of the hard disk were unsatisfactory in the initial price. This forced me and probably many others to choose a costlier model (more profit for Apple) or I would have to upgrade the 'Mac of your dreams' with third party upgrades. The third parties were always cheaper so I always took that option with the acknowledgement that I would be opening up the machine myself. Something else I don't have to do anymore either, that also means less clutter around the house; I owned two difference screwdrivers and other bits and pieces from left over upgrades.
A Different Computing Experience
By owning a Retina MacBook Pro I've lost something that I thought in the past was important to the computing experience. I was always thought I was buying a Mac for the long term, when in fact over a shorter length of time I was spending my personal time looking for these ways to make upgrades; so it wasn't just money I was spending. In my view there is something to be said about owning a sealed up machine because it liberates me from all this. I can just use the machine with no expectations of taking it further technically unless I wanted to buy another external hard drive.***
In the long run, I can envision Apple lifting our burden from buying third party hard disks at some point. What if everything you owned was stored online on iCloud? Imagine a Time Machine backup sitting online with the transfer speed equal to satisfy even the most impatient among us?
Even OS updates, besides the low price is something we don't have to think about anymore. When I updated to Mountain Lion, I remember thinking some games took longer to install. Apple's Gigabit ethernet through Thunderbolt helps, but my point is that an OS install took less time than an application install.
If you've read this far, you've realised this isn't a typical review. I don't really want to talk about the technical aspects beyond the Retina display, but naturally this is a fast and capable machine. All the connectivity options are what I want (especially when there aren't that many, just two USB and Thunderbolt ports really), the speakers have amazing depth to them when you consider how they have been squeezed into the aluminium chassis. The weight and thinness is something to really admire, especially when my previous machine was the 13″ MBP, which was thicker and heavier. Most of my music feels fresh from being freed from the MacBook Pro's tiny speakers. Geekbench results have this new laptop score double over the machine I've replaced. When I re-acquire Aperture and record new episodes of JPG Podcast, I'll be putting it to the performance test. At the moment I haven't had less than 10GB of RAM free, even after opening every page of John Siracusa's Mountain Lion review into its own tab in Safari!
The screen itself is fantastic, the clarity to photographs and text is so sharp even at any resolution above 'Best (Retina)', which takes me to the bit of the screen that actually impresses me more; the ability to change the resolution! I haven't been able to do this since I last owned a CRT monitor, hello 2004. Owning an LCD where you can change the resolution is also something I can't take for granted, I love it!
I've always wanted a laptop that had desktop like performance and everything I would want in the one machine, the monitor really was the last sticking point for me. I never liked external monitors, I can't stand all those wires everywhere. To think I have the same screen real estate as the 17″ MBP that I originally wanted, makes me more than satisfied when it's coupled with the smaller physical size of a thinner 15″ MBP and in some cases the performance capabilities of the MacPro. The resolution at 1920 x 1200 is still sharp at a normal viewing distance.
I have two quibbles related to this machine, one, the font rendering in Safari is a bit weird; refreshing text incorrectly, it was doing it plenty while writing this review. The second quibble is the unusually long wake up time. I hope both of these are fixed in a future update.
I would continue now to further buy laptops like this just for the existential advantages I just described, yes the cost is steep and not for everyone when it comes to Apple products, but what I've described equally applies to say a Lenovo. I know there have been huge articles and discussions about the pros and cons to not owning an Apple Mac you can't upgrade yourself; with a lot of people poo-pooing Apple because of the lack of upgradability after purchase, but if you are planning on buying a new Apple Mac, consider the benefits of this mental space freed up. I'm really enjoying this MacBook Pro more because of the route I took.
* I've managed to sneak in another discussion about minimalism.
** JPG Podcast isn't dead, it's coming back next month. I just have no internet to host shows. I'm borrowing wifi from anywhere at the moment until I get my own data connection.
*** I've been waiting for Apple to release the Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt cable (as I write this, the online Apple store is just now accepting orders for them, both of my current drives are Firewire 800 (with USB2) and I had to resort to the USB2 to transfer my work onto this machine. Now I have a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, I've realised Thunderbolt can only power one device on this chain I had set up with Firewire 800. Firewire 800 is capable of supplying 45 watts while Thunderbolt only supplies 10 watts. This means I can no longer daisy chain my two portable hard drives. I would need to buy a second cable adapter or constantly unplug and swap each drive between the one adapter to make the two backups. Source.
JPG Podcast – The One Where Adam's Opinion is a Blunt One
Already our eight show is upon us and Adam with myself find ourselves discussing Ridley Scott's Prometheus for the first 40 minutes. So if you don't want to be spoiled, you can skip ahead (I employed the use of chapters in this episode for those who want to jump ahead), but we basically go over some of the plot points and reviews for this new take on the Alien mythology. Once we're satisfied we briefly round up the show with some extra WWDC discussion and some critiqing of the superhero films that happen upon us soon.

Fuji X100 ~ Review: A Love Returned, Nostalgia Reclaimed
Fuji X100 Review
I really only want to write once about the amazing Fuji X100. I will satisfy that intention by approaching it from two aspects:
- As somebody who recently moved from an SLR system; replacing his setup with just the Fuji X100 (most of the technical comparisons are against my previous Canon equipment, some might consider this the wrong approach as the Fuji X100 isn't an SLR replacement, but it is what it is).
- As somebody who wanted to get back to the simplicity and joy of using a rangefinder camera (this was after having previously flirted with a number of them over the years, in particular a pair of Contax G2's).
So you're reading this, there is no doubt you're already well informed about the Fuji X100. Especially if you have been a regular reader of this blog. I've posted so much news, reviews and general information about the Fuji X100. I'll dispense with in-depth tests, image results, pixel peeping and weighty comparisons. You will have read them elsewhere. I'll re-post some of the links if I feel I can't add anything to what has already been published.
As we all know, the excitement started in September 2010 at the Photokina Trade show. When I first saw the X100, I thought it could give back to me a bit of my nostalgia for handling a film camera, while at the same time I also thought, finally this is what many photographers have been asking for; a digital sensor wrapped around the beauty and character of a rangefinder camera.
It didn't surprise me that it would be Fuji who were bringing a digital rangefinder to market. Fujifilm were always a little different with their innovations, releasing cameras now and again that were a bit odd; making us sit up and think for a moment. They did it with the GF670 (medium format film camera) and the Fuji W1 (a 3-D camera).
Fuji X100 ~ David Babsky: How to Show Irrational Bias (Part 1)
This review of the X100 blew my mind when I read it the first time, it's by a guest writer called David Babsky over at stevehuffphoto.com. This review does Steve Huff no favours while it's on his website, as it's a terrible piece of writing both in content and form. It's surprising when David Babsky can't articulate himself in the manner befitting a teacher. The piece is an insult to Steve Huff's audience, the quality is just that bad with no journalistic integrity, monkeys must have written and proof read it.
Normally I would just make a comment and move on, but you'll see later in part two why I didn't. David's severe unprofessional negative bias is revealed right away, there's no attempt at all to be objective or take a constructive critical approach.* It's clear David just wants to bash a camera he doesn't want to buy.
I've provided a breakdown of the 15 problems in his review with what I think is a fair rebuttal.

Just lucked in to a 3 cu ft bag of cotton burr compost and brought it home. I am planning to use this as one of my green layers for the lasagne (no till) garden, then a 4 inch layer of shredded leaves on top, and etc. until the bed is high enough. Is there any reason using this by-product wouldn't be a good idea?? Landscapers around here are buying it like mad and it sure looks good. Has a rather weird smell, though. I remember using cottonseed meal on strawberries a long time ago and I had to be careful not to burn them.
Thanks for your help! Sunny |
Follow-Up Postings:
"Has a rather weird smell, though." That smell is all the different chemical residues still on the product. Cotton gins around here can't give that stuff away, nobody wants it. I wouldn't suggest anyone use it on a lasagna bed meant to grow food on... Blutranes |
I've seen several sources of this material in my area. Even though we aren't that far from cotton producing areas, it used to be fairly rare that the compost was offered for sale. As more and more farmers are moving to a low herbicide/chemical production system, I suspect that this material will become even more available. At least in our area, the cotton burr compost does NOT come from the herbicide treated fields. It comes from fields that are using organinc, or transitional farming methods to move to organic. You might look on the label of your material for more info. There is a large bulk of this material produced. Some goes back on the fields, but more is available for sale, and, at least at present, at a fairly reasonable price for purchased compost. Home Depot has the stuff there, and I think I also saw some at WalMart. Renais |

Well, thank you for your information. My raised vegetable beds are finished and I sure don't plan to use the cotton burr stuff on them! However, I'll put it in the perinneal beds and then probably not use it again. I really prefer making my own compost -- and I know all the good stuff that is in it. Probably won't have another bag of burrs, as I'm "geting up there" in years and that 3 ct ft bag was a bear for me to get out of the car! Sunny |
There is an inherent nature of cottonseed bi-product compost in that it stinks to high-heaven when you're composting it, unless you're really, really good and have all the necessary brown / other ingredients and a sealed reactor or something. Whiffy, to put it mildly. The only thing worse than burr is composting cotton seed meal. Lordy. So my guess is thats what you're smelling. Distinctive, sorta like Deer Off, without the rotten egg. |
Just a heads up on cotton seed burr for the archives. I grew up in cotton growing country in West Texas. Cotton Seed Burr is okay to use for your lawn, but do not ever use it in your vegetable garden. Besides there are all types of chemicals and pesticides used on cotton. Arsenic is one of the big things that seems to really be used. Not sure if it is as a pesticide(would make the most sense), but there are also defoliants used at harvest time. Since cotton is not edible, they use chemicals on it that would never be used on grains and other edibles. The arsenic has been used so much that now it has leached into the water tables in West Texas and become a problem that might take centuries to rectify. Just my 2 cents. |

I've used a little cotton burr compost and it was nice stuff. I certainly believe there are pesticides used on cotton, but how much of that ends up in the compost is anyone's guess. I have not heard of any detrimental effects (such as persistent herbicides damaging gardens). I do know that my tests of 20 or so bagged compost products available locally, showed that the cotton burr compost (mine was probably from SE MO) scored very high in organic content and nutrient content. As far as using it for a 'green layer', compost can't be a green or brown since it's already composted. It shouldn't burn plants either. Perhaps there is some confusion between cotton burr compost and cottonseed meal? These are different products. I'll have to check into the arsenic angle, I thought all arsenic pesticides were off the market long ago due to the basically permanent persistance of arsenic (being a metal). |

Well, I'll be darned. MMA (monomethylarsonic acid) and DMA (dimethylarsinic acid) are still approved for weedcontrol on cotton and other non-food crops. I'm not real fond of the idea of using toxic metals just on the face of it. :-[ If one knew the application rate, it would not be too hard to estimate how much ends up in the compost, and how long it would take to raise the natural background level in soil significantly. I suspect it would take quite a bit of compost to do that. As far as other non-arsenic pesticides, unless we know the speed of breakdown in the composting process, it's impossible to say whether the compost is a problem if used on food gardens. I'm not advocating it one way or the other, and the question is certainly valid given the high level of pesticides used on cotton. I just think there's a lot we don't know here. |

I just haul 25 ton Gin Trash home I haul more but feed cows with it now dairy and beef cows. I've use it 17 years on sandy land to turn black sand full organic matter it good to put out with any mature litter it clean litter Gin trash pile up go quickly through heat that kill bad bacteria its self cleaning. They made building products out gin trash the glue was only thing had any problems. I've haul in 4,000 tons mix in soil deep as I could you Google gin trash to find out about several studies on Gin trash all are positive. Because bowl guard cotton less chemical now used then every before. |
Is cottonseed meal tainted with arsenic or just the burrs? I've used it in compost for food growing beds. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 11:13
I don't know the answer to that poaky, maybe gator does. I'm going to guess that the outer parts of the plant absorb more than the seed, but I don't know. USGS says that background arsenic in PA soils is about 10 ppm, which is about the same as our MIssouri soils. So a 10x30 garden (for example) has about 37 grams of arsenic in the top 6" of soil already, just as a frame of reference. I think it would take a lot of material over a long period to make a difference in those tons of soil. |
Cottonseed meal is one of the most heavily contaminated, by pesticide residue, of the products sold today. While there is some organic cottonseed meal being sold most of it is heavily contaminated and much of that has been Genetically Engineered to be resistant to glyphosates. |
Here is a link that might be useful: contaminants of cottonseed meal
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 21, 13 at 10:56
Your link provides 'action levels' for various pesticides and contaminants in various products above which FDA may take action to try to remove products from the market. Unfortunately it does not give any information on actual contaminant concentrations, or whether the use of cottonseed meal with pesticide residues is harmful to the garden. Whether the seed was from Roundup resistant cotton seems irrelevant when using it as fertilizer. I may sound like I'm poo-poohing the contaminants angle. I assure you I'm not, and if people want to avoid using cotton products in their gardens because a lot of pesticides are used on cotton, that's their choice to make. There aren't that many affordable alternatives to chemical fertilizers, though. The cotton burr compost I used was so nice, and tested so well, that I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. As always, homemade compost is generally the best and you also know what goes into it. :-D |
The vegetative waste that we generate is enough to properly feed our soils. Spending money on synthetic fertilizersis not necessary. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 22, 13 at 11:14
That seems like a complete non-sequitor. |
Other than my family's green waste, which doesn't add to much, and what I get at the local compost dump site, which is shredded wood in spring and summer. I don't take the grass clippings because chances are they have chemicals galore, the lawn services are who is dumping the grass clippings and surely they fertilize with chemicals. In fall I get many fall leaves, which is great. Most of the great stuff from there are browns. I do get Bunny poo from Ebay, but I bought the Cottonseed meal for some nitrogen. I just remembered ............ I bought most of my cottonseed meal from Ohio earth food. After looking in my new pamphlet from them it is Organic Program NOP compliant. Sorry, I didn't think to look before. I did however use some Espoma before. I am unsure if they are Cert. Organic though. I used to work in a nursing home, when I think of all the veg scraps I could've gotten, if I were an avid gardener and composter back then it makes me sick. I can't even get this stuff from a dumpster, they use the sink disposals to get rid of scraps. |

cotton burr compost....for cotton arsenic was outlawed in early 90's and not only that but the EPA also requires any chemicals used on cotton must break down in two weeks...the stinking comes from not drying the burr compost enough before bagging, back to nature says dry to at least 35%....find the good stuff and use it, its the all around best compost you can find...look for organic grown cotton, which uses molasses to produce healthy crops...good luck...the indian |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 4, 14 at 12:45
Thanks for the info butch. I'm a little confused because my earlier post from Feb. 2013 indicated two As containing compounds were still permitted for use on cotton. I'm not sure where I found that info at the time, but I must have considered it a reliable source. That said, I still think a lot of the condemnation of cotton burr compost in this thread was over the top, and even if there are pesticide residues, you certainly wouldn't be able to smell them, so any odor has to be from the material and the composting process. |
- Posted by lazygardens PhxAZ%3A Sunset 13 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 5, 14 at 13:14
The burrs are the seed pod covers. It's inherently stinky. Organically grown cotton produces the same smelly "gin trash" and oilseed cake as other cotton. Even my wild cotton plants have slightly smelly seed pods - I'd call it musty and oily and perhaps "chemical". |
- Posted by toxcrusadr 5 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 11:11
The compost I've bought in a bag has a slightly different odor than other composts, but it's not strong or unpleasant. |

For those LOCAL KENTUCKY/INDIANA CUSTOMERS we offer a local pickup option to avoid the needless stress and expense of shipping. However, we are still an online company and there is no brick and mortar store to come and see. All local customers intending on pickup must submit and pay their orders prior to pickup.
Most of our cichlids are bred by us right here in Kentucky; we breed over 30 different species. Sometimes, to fill your orders, we need to call on other breeders. But know that this a is a very select handful of designated breeders that we know and trust. We never buy a fish from somebody we don't have a relationship with or plenty of experience dealing with. We are not a reseller of farm raised fish grown in acre ponds and NEVER buy fish from wholesale farms.
Our hatchery is managed by Kentucky Cichlid's owner, Terry Boardman and our grow out facility is managed by Chris Mcgaughey. Attention to every detail is our philosophy. We don't cut corners and we don't overstock our tanks. In fact, all of our grow out tanks are spacious closed systems with natural environments, ideal for each species. Husbandry and water conditions are maintained at the highest standard to ensure healthy happy fish. We never use preventative antibiotics, hormones, or anything other than quality environments, perfect water conditions, and our personal touch! You simply cannot find fish raised under better conditions. Studies have shown that the future health and quality of a fish is significantly influenced to its level of stress during its development stage, which is why Kentucky Cichlids puts so much emphasis on how our fish are raised.
Even for the most advanced aquarist issues and questions arise. We are here to help you if your fish are sick- prescribing medication and treatment strategies. If necessary we will accept biological samples for analysis and have the equipment to diagnose pathogens and to run sensitivity testing.
We frequently write articles related to cichlid care (breeding, feeding, disease, physiology, etc.) along with offering specials. Please join our mailing list so that we can keep in touch with you.

We look forward to working with you, to ensure your expectations are exceeded!

Tuesday, May 19
Staples Center
Attendance: None
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kobe Bryant scored 40 points, sank six free throws in the final 30.5 seconds and came up with the game-sealing rebound in the final moments, as the Lakers rallied to beat Denver, 105-103, in the opener of the Western Conference finals.
Trevor Ariza came up with a huge steal in the last minute, and Bryant had 18 of his points in the fourth quarter for the top-seeded Lakers, who were coming off a Game 7 win over Houston on Sunday in the conference semifinals. They nearly lost against the Nuggets, but rallied from a seven-point deficit in the last period.
"He was a scoring opportunity for us tonight," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson of Bryant. "We had very little else going on for us tonight. He muscled his way through that game."
Pau Gasol contributed 13 points and 14 rebounds for Los Angeles, while Derek Fisher also scored 13 as the Lakers beat Denver in the postseason for the 11th straight time.
Carmelo Anthony scored 39, on 14-of-20 shooting from the field, for the Nuggets, who are in the conference finals for the first time since 1985 when they lost to the Lakers in five games. Los Angeles went on to win the NBA championship that season, beating Boston.
Chauncey Billups, appearing in his seventh straight conference finals series, had 18 points and eight assists for the Nuggets, who had a much easier time in the West semis, disposing of the Dallas Mavericks in just five games. They were ahead by as many as 13 on Tuesday before faltering.
"We lost out on a great opportunity to steal this game," said Billups. "We played probably good enough, but I think we lost the game on poor free throw shooting. We missed 12 free throws and it comes back we lost by two points."
Game 2 of the best-of-seven set is Thursday, again at the Staples Center.
Bryant sank all nine of his foul shots in the last quarter. His two from the line with 30.5 seconds left, after being fouled away from the basket by Kenyon Martin, gave the Lakers a 101-99 edge.
After a Denver timeout, Anthony Carter was pressured on the inbounds pass by Lamar Odom. Carter's lob attempt to Billups was picked off by Ariza, and the Lakers ran the clock until Bryant was hammered on a drive to the hoop with 10 seconds left. He made both free throws.
"We were able to get some pressure on the inbounds and they were close to a five-second call," said Odom. "Trevor did a great job of anticipating the pass and making that steal."
Billups, despite having replays show he stepped out of bounds, then made a three-pointer from the left corner with 6.1 seconds remaining.
Bryant then made two from the line with 5.8 seconds left for a 105-102 margin, but the Lakers then chose to foul J.R. Smith instead of giving up a possible three-point shot.
Smith made the first attempt with 3.2 seconds left, but with Denver out of timeouts, he intentionally missed the second. Bryant got the rebound and threw the ball high into the air to kill the remaining time.
Meanwhile, Smith was writhing in pain on the court after taking an awkward fall going for the offensive rebound. He later walked off under his own power. Denver coach George Karl said Smith hyperextended his knee, but should recover.
Anthony's jam off a feed from Nene gave the Nuggets an 89-82 cushion with 7 1/2 minutes remaining in regulation, but Bryant scored LA's next seven points.
After Ariza drained a three-pointer, Anthony's layup gave Denver a 96-92 edge with 3:25 left, but Bryant drilled a jumper and he then fed Fisher for the go- ahead three-ball from the right corner.
Billups came back with a clutch step-back three for a 99-97 Denver lead, but Gasol was fouled after grabbing a wild three-point shot from Fisher and made both at the charity stripe to tie the game with 1:14 left.
Denver's Chris Andersen missed a wild shot in the lane, leading to a jump ball, which was won by the Lakers with 57.3 seconds left. Bryant missed a jumper, but the ball was tapped out of bounds by the Nuggets, setting up the big finish.
Martin scored 15 points and Nene had 14 before fouling out.
The Nuggets started the game on a 10-2 run and ran out to a 27-14 lead following an Anthony three-pointer with under two minutes remaining in the period.
LA was within 31-23 going into the second and went ahead for the first time on Josh Powell's two free throws, making it 50-49 with 1:10 remaining in the first half. Martin slammed for a 54-52 Denver lead with 8.4 seconds left in the half, but Fisher hit a triple from the right corner at the buzzer.
"Some game you have quick starts some games you don't," said Bryant. "The thing we did better in this game is we didn't allow them to go on a huge run to put us in too big of a deficit."
It was tight throughout the third quarter, but the Nuggets eventually pushed ahead, 76-74, moving to the fourth following a Smith three-pointer in the closing minute.

JYay! JWoww's Clothing Line Is Skins-Free
Here's "The Situation": Sexy Jenni "JWoww" Farley of Jersey Shore fame has launched her new clothing line, Filthy Couture. No word yet on whether or not it'll include Snookits, but PETA members everywhere united in a resounding fist pump when JWoww's camp confirmed that Filthy Couture is free of fur and exotic skins.
Perhaps this headline will be coming soon to a newspaper near you: "PETA Implants JWoww in 'Rather Go Naked' Campaign." Would you like to see that become a reality?

JBS CEO Art Thompson's weekly video news update for April 2-8, 2012.
The statist rulers of the so-called "BRICS" countries — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — have been subtly calling for an end to the U.S. dollar's status as the world reserve currency for years. Now, they are making more moves to turn that rhetoric into reality, proposing a jointly controlled "development" bank and working to sideline America's already-troubled Federal Reserve Notes in trade by relying more heavily on their own fiat currencies.
On Wednesday, Republican presidential contender Dr. Ron Paul delivered a rousing speech in defense of liberty to a standing-room-only crowd at the University of Maryland-College Park Campus.
In his attempt to explode the myth that there is unlimited demand for U.S. government debt, former Treasury official Lawrence Goodman explained that there is high perceived demand because the Federal Reserve is doing most of the buying.
When Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke donned his professorial cap and addressed 30 undergraduate students at George Washington University on Tuesday, he claimed it was all in the interest of transparency. According to the New York Times, "The Fed is concerned that it is neither loved nor understood by many Americans, and that public anger could lead to constraints on its powers."
As Greece's economy and the euro continue to struggle, regular Greeks are increasingly taking matters into their own hands, creating informal underground barter markets and even alternative currencies. And the government is actually encouraging it.
As the Federal Reserve came under increasing scrutiny by outraged lawmakers and the public in recent years, it hired a lobbyist to defend its controversial secrecy and produced propaganda-filled comic books aimed at young children. It even sought to develop a tool to spy on concerned citizens over the Internet.
As scrutiny of the Federal Reserve System and public outrage over its actions continue to build, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are working on proposals that would supposedly rein in the Fed or at least change the way it operates. And a new measure aims to tackle some of the issues head on.
In the face of escalating sanctions imposed by the European Union and the U.S. government, supposedly related to the Iranian nuclear program, officials in Iran announced that the nation would accept gold and currencies other than the dollar in international trade. China, Russia, India, and other major economies have continued to do business with the Islamic Republic despite the growing Western pressure.
In a moment of unexpected and unsettling candor, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, in his testimony on Tuesday before the House Financial Services Committee, said that he really doesn't know what's happening to the economy. In his best professorial manner and without blinking an eye, the chairman said, "In light of somewhat different signals received recently from the labor market than from indicators of final demand and production…it will be especially important to evaluate incoming information to assess the underlying pace of the economic recovery."

Lockout laws fail to curb violence
Exclusive data obtained and analysed by the Future Party has revealed that, in addition to damaging Sydney's international reputation and tarnishing the city's nightlife culture, the Coalition government's lockout laws have failed to achieve their objective of a reduction in alcohol-related violence. In fact, not only has the policy exacerbated the very issue it exists to diminish, but has also coincided with a spike in the number of alcohol related assaults and accidents outside of licensed premises.
Read moreThe federal budget – our response so far
We'd like to take a moment to summarise The Future Party's response to this year's Federal Budget.
Prior even to the budget itself, rumours and early announcements of cuts to research prompted our Fund Our Future campaign, culminating successfully in the Rally for Research at Sydney Town Hall – and we will, of course, continue to make the vital case for the government to prioritise science and innovation in the weeks, months and years ahead. We have been and continue to be staunch opponents of the government's agenda to dismantle all meaningful action to reduce carbon emissions, in blatant disregard of the science on climate change – and indeed, we go further than any other party in our consistently strong stance on this issue, whether its our support for fuel excise indexation or for renewable-enabling smart grids and nuclear energy research. Likewise we are long standing advocates of more generous tax and welfare treatment for low income Australians, rather than the cruel, arbitrary cuts favoured by the government.
Read moreA challenge to the Greens and the Labor Party
Abbott's deficit levy has been widely panned by all kinds, from business, to Liberal backbenchers, to the Labor Party and even The Greens. This is incredible considering the nature of the levy: it is a progressive tax. Yes, I just called an Abbott policy progressive. The tax disproportionately impacts the wealthy, and the overwhelming majority of the population will have no additional taxes to pay.

The Owner purchased this house in 2009
This is a house that has everything we want. It is located in the middle of fun spots yet located in a very quiet and upscale community. Nearby are good restaurants and shopping places for people who also find comfort in checking out fashion tastes of the area. The expressway is nearby which makes travel from one spot to another really easy. There is also a clubhouse that can be used.
Being on a corner lot and having a pond at the back means more privacy. The great room opens up to a huge lanai by the solar-heated pool making for easier entertaining. The gazebo also provides a sitting area . The open kitchen area with corian counters makes the great room quite accessible, yet still provides for a little nook for meals and a separate formal dining and living room.
Our family had such a wonderful vacation! You made sure that the home is stocked with everything that parents and kids would need and we really appreciate that. We came to Wesley Chapel to visit relatives and they also had lots of nice things to say about your beautiful home.

This week we're bringing you from-the-gut interviews with some of menswear's biggest names at New York Fashion Week. No canned responses; no cribbing from press releases. Just us shooting the shit with some of our favorite shot-callers in fashion. We'll be posting each Q&A before the designer's respective show. First up, we've got New York fashion icon Donna Karan on life in the city.
So you've been showing your collections in New York for 25 years. What's changed?
The technology. There's newness that comes from it, but I have to tell you: I don't approve of it! I get it. It's brilliant, but I'd rather people put as much attention and energy into the season's clothes.
What's stayed the same?
Black stays the same. No question about that. It will always be around.
Where do you go in the city to unwind and escape?
Bar Pitti. I like to hang out there, because I can go privately. No make up, no hair, casual as can be. And then, late at night, I do love the Boom Boom Room [laughs].
Yeah, it's hard to say that one with a straight face. The Ace was a great choice of venue, by the way. You don't like showing your collections in tents, huh?
No, but I did just launch a major Haiti relief program called "A Tent Today, A Home Tomorrow" last night. So I've been lugging tents into my store! We've been putting them all over New York for the project. For $1,000 you can purchase one and house ten people.
Where are you going once New York fashion week is over?
Again, Haiti. It's very important what's going on there.
Check back soon at GQ.com/style for a slideshow of DKNY's Fall 2010 men's collection.

In the aftermath of President Obama's jobs speech, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder sent out a press release that said in part:
"Tonight the president laid out a plan calling for many changes at the federal level that we have already made here in Michigan. The president proposed cutting payroll taxes for small businesses in half to encourage job growth; in Michigan, we already ended the double tax on small businesses. The president proposed ending loopholes for corporations. In Michigan, we already did that by switching to a flat, 6 percent corporate income tax that is simple, fair and efficient. These are changes that will help create an environment where jobs can grow, and they should be considered by Congress."
The press release concluded with:
"Half of all jobs lost in the entire United States over the past decade were lost right here in Michigan. We are in a crisis, and cannot afford to waste time on unproductive political posturing and partisan fighting. It's time to make the tough decisions needed to reinvent Michigan and reinvent the United States."
Sounds pretty supportive -- right?
The White House thought so and sent out a press release entitled: "Michigan Governor Rick Snyder Backs American Jobs Act."
Not so fast. An hour later, the White House sent out another press release entitled: "Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on American Jobs Act," removing the word "backs."
Then Snyder Press Secretary Sara Wurfell released a statement saying the governor isn't ready to support the whole thing. "Not on the full plan."
The statement quoted Snyder as saying, "We need to take a closer look at it and see."
Good grief.

About Us
We have the best job in the world: The privilege of sharing the most special and awe-inspiring time. The birth of a baby. We help families welcome a tiny new person and start a whole new journey together. What could be better than that?
With a combined 30 years experience in labor wards, birthing centres and at home births. We have supported families through all kinds of choices. The training, skills and knowledge for a midwife or nurse are very different from those required to be a doula, so our team are professionally trained specifically as doulas. We are all certified with Childbirth International, or have equivalent experience. The CBI program is the most rigorous in the world.
Click here
for more information.
Teachers of our pre-natal classes have a diploma in Childbirth Education, also from CBI, focused on active learning. ParentLink Childbirth Educators have specialized skills to make your class fun, engaging, and helpful.
We're a diverse group, from the USA, Singapore, Italy, Canada, Germany, and Japan. Most important of all is that we know your birth is about you. We're here to help, we're here to support, to ensure you get your birth, your way.

I'm in school in the UK and my wonderful boyfriend is in school in Michigan. I'm coming to stay with him for a couple weeks over New Year's (one week in the middle, when he's in classes, I'll go to see my parents in NC), but there's a problem: he wants to go to NYC for NYE where all his friends from undergrad will be and he wants me to pay for our flights and he'll pay me back for both when he gets money he's owed in January. I worry that if I pay for the tickets now, it will put me in a very tight money situation for the next few weeks until he pays me, and who knows if he'll even be able to pay me promptly?! I get very nervous with money and budgeting, and he is very lax about "I owe you" and I worry it may be months or more before I'm paid back. I know when our relationship gets more serious we will have to talk about finances and how we handle money together, but this is hitting me in the face, and I feel unprepared. We were planning to go to Chicago for New Year's — just the two of us — which would be a lot cheaper than going to NYC ($450 cheaper!), but he'd be upset about not being with his friends. At the end of the day, I'm sure I'll be just really happy to be with him wherever we are, as I haven't seen him in three months, but here I am fretting about money and I can't help myself. What do you think I should do? — Pay it Forward?
